Johnny Depp's latest film will be included in opening night of the Cannes Film Festival. The chief of the festival defended Depp's appearance.
The film festival chief, Thierry Fremaux, emphasized freedom of speech when defending Depp's inclusion in the festival. The actor is starring as Louis XV in "Jeanne du Barry," which will follow the life of Jeanne Bécu, the French king's last official mistress.
"I don’t know about the image of Johnny Depp in the U.S. To tell you the truth, in my life, I only have one rule, it’s the freedom of thinking, and the freedom of speech and acting within a legal framework," Fremaux told journalists during a press conference ahead of opening night, according to Variety.
